What Causes Pain And Stiffness In The Swollen Finger?
My little finger on my left hand has been swollen and feels stiff and sore when I try to bend it. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. Today, I noticed my middle finger was sore at the knuckle and took a look. There is a inch or so long red area and is swollen. Does not hurt to move at all just to touch. This middle finder is also on my left hand. Any ideas? I m 66 years old and active.

Hello,
The redness with restricted mobility involving finger suggest underlying inflammatory process as arthritis or else. Primary relief with ice pack application, analgesic tablets and consult an expert consultant surgeon for further assistance.
